City transfer thread

And Hayden/Akpom I think, so the squad should get a bit of its spirit back.

 

Yeah, WEAN'T A FEW OF THEM IN THE eNGLAND UNDER 20'S OR SOMETHING TOO ?
iV'E ALSO NOTICED AFEW OF OUR PLAYERS/POTENTIAL ONES HAVE WORKED THEIR WAY UP FROM LOWER/NON-LEAGUWE TOO.
sHOULD MAKE FOR GOOD TEAM SPIRIT
edit, sorry caut the caps lock, cant be bothered to right it again

 

Looks like no go on Maloney - which is a shame as I think he'd be a good addition

Maloney staying

The Fire declined a bid from Hull City for Shaun Maloney last week and it didn’t sound like the Scottish attacker is going anywhere soon. Even if the Fire lose out on Wednesday night. The offer from Hull came too close to the close of the MLS summer window for the Fire to make a move to replace Maloney, even if they wanted to consider an offer.

“We got the sort of final-ish offer two or three days before the end of our window and it wasn’t a significant offer,” said Yallop. “It was more of them feeling the waters out, I think. Shaun was passive on the whole thing. He said, ‘look I’m a Chicago Fire player, if someone comes in and you accept the offer then I’ll talk to them – other than that I’m a Fire player’. He stuck to his word. Everything is fine. When it’s done, the offer didn’t get increased and the window closed for us. It didn’t give us any time to get any more players other than free transfers. Shaun is with us now and that’s good for everybody.”

 

Yep, what impresses me most is his clinical, confident finish; he never looks like he thinks anything else is possible, his body language makes the prospect of a row-z laughable. It might sound daft, but his style isn't something you coach into him, it's simply natural talent that you build on with opportunity. Let's get him in the door!

 

Some really good individual goals from nothing there, too.

 

If you want to buy a Judge, you need to involve Carmine Gallant; he'll know how to make him an offer he can't refuse...

 

Thank ****. Too old. Doesn't score enough.

 

He is highly rated; I will get more from some good supporters.

 

I saw him as a replacement for Quinn & an upgrade - I think his goals scoing record below for a midfielder is pretty impressive

He is past it, hence why he is playing in THE MLS.

 

I still think we're in poll position for Gray but no doubt the Brentford massive would rather sell to Burnley!

Gray forcing the opposition defences deeper,Maloney occupying the hole would have been ideal.

 

Gray would prefer to come to us. Odubajo is here and we are more likely to get promoted and increase his wages further than Burnley.

 

Hope your right petersaxton.

 

Hmmm
He keeps kicking the ball towards the goal!
I'm not sure he'll fit in?

 

Gray going for medical in Burnley

 

Source?

 

If Burnley really are in then it makes us look really ****ing stupid for wasting time with the bullshit about pulling out of the deal a week ago when we are now seemingly prepared to pay what they asked for in the first place

 

Burnley have bid for Gray like Everton bid for Odubajo.

Hat is just stirring up as always.

 

I'd prefer Jack Ryan. He'd whip the squad into shape.
